ARTICULATION AGREEMENT (hereafter referred to as PGCC), a community college in Prince George s County, Maryland, and Morgan State University (hereafter referred to as MSU), a public state university in Baltimore, Maryland, agree to offer an articulated program leading to the award of a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry. PURPOSE OF AGREEMENT This agreement is entered into in the interests of PGCC s and MSU s students. The general purpose of this agreement is to make clear the terms of this articulation agreement. This agreement will allow for the efficient transfer of students between campuses, including transfer credit, admissions, and financial aid/scholarship. It will provide opportunities for students beyond the classroom, serving as a basis for student involvement and faculty interaction. It will set expectations for administrators, faculty, and staff at both institutions and foster a working relationship between the parties. Finally, it will encourage students to continue their education for their personal and professional development. ADMINISTRATIVE PRINCIPLES The following general principles guide the operation of this Agreement: 1. The program is designed for graduates/transfers of the Associate of Arts General Studies Program with an area of Concentration in Chemistry at PGCC. A maximum of seventy (70) credit hours from PGCC or another community college will be allowed towards fulfillment of the minimum one hundred and twenty (120) credit hours required for baccalaureate completion (Chemistry). 2. In accordance with the Code of Maryland Regulations, all courses meeting general education requirements at PGCC will transfer to MSU as general education. Other general education requirements will be met by using required or elective courses at MSU as noted in this agreement. 3. The maximum number of credits that will be accepted by MSU toward degree requirements from non-direct classroom instruction (including CLEP, AP, International Baccalaureate, and other select nationally-recognized standardized examination scores, and other four-year institutions) is ninety (90) credits. If the course is evaluated by PGCC and applied to the Associate of Arts transfer degree, the student must submit the score report to be evaluated by MSU, and credit will be applied as determined by an MSU evaluation. It is possible that not all transferable credit accepted by MSU will be applicable to the degree. 4. Courses completed at another community college or four-year institution will count towards the total credits transferred into MSU. Official transcripts from all previously attended institutions will also be required. 1
5. Once the Associate of Arts degree is completed and the student has been admitted to MSU, the student will be instructed to contact the appointed academic advisor and register for classes. PGCC students that are following this agreement will be advised by the Director of Student Success and Recruitment in the School of Computer, Mathematics and Natural Sciences. 6. Students may complete the MSU curriculum part-time or full-time, online or faceto-face, or in any combination thereof. 7. This articulation agreement becomes effective on the date set forth on the first page of this document. This agreement will be reviewed and re-signed every two (2) years. 8. PGCC will permit MSU to conduct on-campus information sessions at locations and on dates that are mutually agreeable. 9. PGCC will provide appropriate accommodations for the MSU recruiter to meet with students in a confidential environment. Prior notice will be required. 10. PGCC will allow MSU to distribute or place materials at campus information distribution points that will be mutually agreeable to both parties (e.g. kiosks, central information desks, bulletin boards, etc.). 11. PGCC and MSU agree to monitor the performance of this agreement and to revise it as necessary. 12. The agreement may be terminated by either party after adequate notice, defined as one calendar year, at which time appropriate measures will be put into place regarding the continued transfer of students. Students who have already entered MSU will be allowed to complete the program under the terms of this agreement. 13. The office of record for program articulation agreements at Morgan State University is the Transfer Center. The office of record at Prince George s Community College is the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost of Teaching, Learning and Student Success. 2
For students following this agreement, the requirements listed below apply: 1. Students must maintain a 2.0 cumulative grade point average at PGCC and complete the requirements for the Associate of Arts, Area of Concentration in Chemistry in order to transfer to MSU under the terms of this articulation agreement. 2. ORNS 106 Freshman Orientation for Chemistry majors (1 credit) is not required for transfer students who transfer with a minimum of twenty-four (24) credits from the sending institution. Moreover, the transfer student must complete a minimum of one hundred and twenty- (120) credit hours to earn the Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry. 3. Morgan State University does not guarantee the transferability of courses taken outside the guidelines within this articulated agreement. 4. In order to be eligible for admission, students must comply with all MSU admissions requirements, including posted deadlines and submission of appropriate documentation. 5. Students shall apply for admission to Morgan State University, indicating Chemistry as the intended major. Applications for admission can be obtained by contacting: the Office of Admission and Recruitment at (443) 885-3000 or http://www.morgan.edu/admissions/undergraduate_admissions/transfer_applica nts.html. All required application materials must be supplied by the deadline. 6. Students will automatically be nominated for scholarships for which they are eligible. *For priority scholarship consideration, students must complete their admission application by November 15 th for fall admission. http://www.morgan.edu/honors_college/honors_scholarships/honors_college_schol arships.html 7. Students shall contact the Transfer Coordinator for their major for an advisement appointment once they have been admitted to MSU. The required credit hours must be successfully completed before Morgan State University can grant the degree. Each student s last thirty (30) credit hours must be completed at MSU. 3
APPENDICES As part of this agreement, the following have been included: 1. Course-by-course articulations, including satisfaction of general education requirements at both and Morgan State University. 2. Upper division requirements to be completed at Morgan State University. 3. An academic advising sheet showing requirements for completion of the degree at PGCC.
